The Daily Life of a Hogwarts Warfare Professor

In the new week, Victor stood in front of Minerva?6?1 McGonagall's office and knocked on the door easily.

He had already made an appointment with the vice-principal, so a short time before the start of the Transfiguration class, Victor was allowed to enter the office to discuss things.

The door opened soon.

Professor McGonagall was sitting in her chair preparing a lesson.She had a straight face just like Victor remembered her.

If Victor had sat in front of a face like this in an office when he was at school, he must have done something wrong.

Now?Victor announced that since Professor McGonagall turned into a cat and suddenly appeared at his door, he felt a little more confident when he broke into Professor McGonagall's office.

People who come and go are good neighbors.

"Associate Professor Eisner, please finish your request within 10 minutes. My Transfiguration class will start soon."

Victor's greeting of "the weather is really nice today" stuck in his throat, and he said straight to the point to Professor McGonagall:

"Perhaps you remember that today is the day to receive your monthly salary in the onboarding process."

It's really a bit trepidating to raise my own salary.

So before coming, Victor read the entry instructions again and again, and confirmed for the tenth time: Hogwarts will pay the new professors their salaries in advance in the first month to prepare for emergencies.

Professor McGonagall lowered her eyes and looked at Victor, then opened the drawer at hand (Victor was sure that this action had a magical aura and should be a simple unlocking spell or unlocking recognition), and took out a drawer with a lock. wallet.

Victor couldn't help but want to take a look.

...Is it true that the top one has so many zeros?How can the income be so high!Hogwarts is richer than I thought!

Then Professor McGonagall flipped the lock on the wallet, Victor, No. 1969. After the lock was rotated to the designated number, it immediately deflated a lot.

Mag pulled out the only check inside and handed it to Victor.

Fifty, in gold galleons.The right side of the check bore the official seals of Hogwarts and Gringotts.

"Find a safe place and burn it while saying 'cashishing' and you'll get gold coins falling from the sky.

"I advise you not to redeem it in some strange place. Your own office is the best choice."

Victor accepted the Gringotts check and decided not to ask where the strange place was.

The cage of coins he saw stuck in the vegetable seedlings in Hagrid's vegetable garden finally had an explanation.

"Thank you, Professor McGonagall. I wish you a happy work."

Victor playfully waved the check in his hand.But he couldn't leave just yet. He came to the vice principal's office for two other things.

As a visiting scholar, in addition to fulfilling his teaching duties, Associate Professor Victor 6?1 von 6?1 Eisner should also actively learn magic, improve his own skills, and strive to do more for Hogwarts. theory, publish a few more papers.

If visiting scholars have ideas for teaching or research, Hogwarts is willing to provide certain project funds to the scholars.

How could Victor miss such an opportunity to corrupt... ah no, to contribute to Hogwarts.

He spent one day on Sunday considering two projects.

Let him come one by one.

"Professor McGonagall, you know, I have very little experience in being a professor.

"Warfare is another emerging subject at Hogwarts. In the process of opening up wasteland, there will always be unexpected problems of one kind or another."

"For example?" said Professor McGonagall.

"For example, when my students needed textbooks, as their course professor, I failed to prepare enough textbooks for them in advance."

Victor was heartbroken and ran the train with his mouth full.

He blocked Professor McGonagall's question "I remember that freshmen would go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore to buy their own textbooks" and told the vice principal that his books were not available at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Even if you search the most neglected corners of Flourish and Blotts, you won't be able to find it.Only by traveling to Phoenix Bookstore in France can we see traces of textbooks.

"You don't mean to ask students to travel to France collectively."

Professor McGonagall had an expression that said, "If you say yes, I'll take the severance package and leave on the spot."

Victor immediately shook his head.How could it be, how could he not take the Hogwarts school rules seriously.

He will solve the urgent problem that he caused for the students.

He just needs a sum of money to purchase textbooks.

"I have forty students. I can't favor one over the other, so an order for forty textbooks is necessary.

"If I can get the money as soon as possible, I can have the textbooks ready before the next war class."

"What's the price of each textbook?"

Professor McGonagall asked.When Victor saw that there was something going on, he quickly reviewed the market research he had done in his mind.

At Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in Diagon Alley, the cheapest textbook is Professor Trelawney's divination class book, which costs thirteen silver coins.

It's not because it's cheap and high-quality, it's just that no customers want to buy it.Half the book was dropped and turned to dust.

And the most expensive textbook...if that can be called a textbook, is the "Gilderoy 6?1 Lockhart Series" by Gilderoy 6?1 Lockhart, who has not yet become a professor. 》, each copy sold for five galleons!

Victor decided to pick a moderate number.

"Two galleons a book, free shipping for forty copies."

In fact, Victor far needed forty textbooks.

He believed that after Saturday dinner, many young wizards would choose to use the "copying" method to obtain information, and for him the cost was only a magic spell.

There must be very few people using methods like Hermione's. It would be enough for him to buy a dozen or twenty Pure White Books.

By the way, the Book of Pure White costs less than a galleon as a notebook.

Isn’t this business so profitable?

Once this project is approved, Victor can get a one-time check of eighty galleons.

My salary as an associate professor suddenly seemed so meager.

Professor McGonagall did not reply to Victor immediately.Two minutes passed, and just when Victor was about to lose control of his pretense of integrity, the Vice-Principal finally nodded gently and said:

"Okay, Associate Professor Eisner. I think I can approve your project application. I hope that with the support of Hogwarts funds, you can gradually move towards an excellent professor."

Victor nodded to Professor McGonagall.

"You need to submit a project establishment report. The ink and paper requirements are..."

oh.I've already written it.

Victor said to Professor McGonagall.

He stayed at home on Sunday and finally finished writing the project report in accordance with the requirements of Hogwarts employees.

A branch of the Whomping Willow infected with lignification disease was broken off at the second branch, dipped in lead powder, and the applicant's appeal written in a parchment scroll.

With such harsh conditions, professors must not have liked to apply for this thing over the years.No wonder Hogwarts has a budget surplus every year.

"I think there are still 30 seconds left." Victor looked at the watch in Mag's office and said. In 30 seconds, his project establishment report will be sent to him via owl mailbox.

Moreover, there is an application for a second project.

The conversation took longer than expected, and Victor had planned to finish presenting the second project at this point.

Victor wrote in his second report that he planned to rebuild the secret passage at Hogwarts.
